Man: ...We...Man: can tell that you're perfectly rational...!

Man: But we don't know whether your personality itself is normal or not...!Teppei: What do you mean...

Man: Before being penned up in here, back when we were on the move with the police and other evacuation forces,Man: there was a rumor going around.Man: It said that those monsters were the alternate forms of criminals and deviants...Man: and that, those among them who had originally been the most villainous were incredibly strong and had retained their personalities...!

Man: It's a pretty absurd rumor, but if it's true...!Man: If that power manifested in Numazawa due to his own brutality, then...!Man: Wouldn't that strong power of yours, which enabled you to fight him on even ground, be some sort of reflection of your soul, too...?!

???: ...So, why not stop fighting for humanity's sake????: There's no point, and nothing good will come of it.

???: In the end, even all the fighting you've done this far was meaningless, right????: Wouldn't it be better to give up on acting like a hero and just live doing whatever you want?

???: Just like your former friend said before, that might be your true self.Teppei: ...Shut up...

???: Those people are sure awful, huh. You risked your life and saved them, and yet they gave you that attitude without even a word of thanks.???: How about really cutting loose with that power of yours?

Teppei: Shut up...!

???: There's no need to hold back! I mean,???: your power exists to burn cities to the ground, right?
